What is TRIO Day?
What is TRIO Day?
On February 24, 1986, a congressional resolution (H. Con. Res. 278) declared that Saturday, February 28, 1986, should be designated as "National TRIO Day" to commemorate the annual achievements of the Federal TRIO programs in communities across the country. Every year since then, the fourth Saturday in February is observed as National TRIO Day — an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of TRIO students and TRIO programs across the nation.
This year, National TRIO will be celebrated on Saturday, February 22, 2025! KY TRIO will sponsor events on Friday, February 21, 2025 - Saturday, February 22, 2025 at the University of Louisville!
